Chiyo made a horizontal movement with her arms, and a stack of kunai appeared, seemingly floating midair before they flew towards Eiji.
Eiji ducked and the line of kunais flew over him, but Sakura's fist appeared near the left side of his face. But before the fist could touch him, a snake appeared and wrapped around Sakura's arm and stopping her movement.
However, two Narutos charged at Eiji: one from behind, the other from the right side.
Eiji suddenly draws his sword, slashing the tree beneath time, which resulted in him and Sakura falling while the two Narutos missed their charge.
But while Eiji was still falling, he suddenly felt how he was pulled back by invincible threads straight into Sakura's fist.
With a loud bang, he smashed into the ground.
"Did we get him?" - Naruto asked Sakura.
"..." - Chiyo was too experienced to let her guard down.
"I certainly felt my fist hitting him...it wasn't a shadow clone..." - Sakura
"Damn, that was a good hit...but unfortunately I'm not a masochist, so I'll have to decline from tasting your fists from now on..." - Eiji appeared on a tree and his broken nose and overall face injuries just regenerated while he was standing in a thinking pose.
'Their teamwork is certainly trouble, especially since I must be careful to not kill them...but doing things half-assed won't get me anywhere either...but I can at least cut their arms and legs off since Tsunade can just attach them later on again.' - Eiji sighed annoyed, but Chiyo saw for just a moment a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"EVERYONE DODGE!!!" - Chiyo shouted while ducking.
Eiji got into an iaijutsu pose and accelerated chakra into his sword grip. And then he drew his sword.
"Konoha Wind-Spirit Style: Summer wind..."
WHOOSH!!!!
Every tree was cut in a huge radius, letting the sunshine through which raised the brightness of the battlefield.
"I heard rumors a while ago, that Konoha had a fallen Hokage who used kenjutsu coupled with wind and snake techniques...so you are the "Lost Hokage"? I have to admit, Konoha has surely many talented individuals..." - Chiyo got ready to summon her puppets.
"I will say it again, I neither want to fight you nor am I with the Akatsuki. But if you still continue to-"
"My art is an explosion..." - a quiet voice could be heard from a distance before the battlefield was engulfed in a strong brightness.
"Damn, we lost him...him flying is cheating!! Neji, can you track him?" - Tenten was envious of Deidaras ability to just fly, while she and her teammates need to run with everything they got to catch up.
Neji activated his Byakugan to search for Deidara.
"Tenten, you just didn't train enough. If you trained to run, catching up to him would be a piece of cake!" - Lee
"...I'm a bit worried about our opponent...didn't he sense how we're chasing him, or doesn't he just ca-" Neji blurted his thoughts out while he searched, but he stopped midsentence.
BOOOOMMM!!!!
They saw a huge explosion in the direction Deidara flew off.
"!"
All three made a serious face before nodding to each other and raising their running speed.
"HIAHAHAHA!!!" - Ukon was assaulting Kakashi madly with random attacks.
The craziness and randomness made it hard to read, but fortunately, Kakashi had the Sharingan to help him with that.
Unfortunately, Ukon had his curse mark level 2 activated, which made his punches and kicks extremely powerful.
Kakashi wasn't able to block such strong attacks, so he just focused on dodging.
Even though he looked like he had the disadvantage and was only dodging passively, he was confident.
The curse mark strained the user's body tremendously and coupled with the fact that Ukon was attacking madly, he would soon run out of chakra, while Kakashi was rational and conversed his chakra.
This battle was already decided!
"!" - Kakashi sensed danger and summoned an earth dome around him.
Ukon's kick landed on the earth wall, but at this moment his senses screamed which made him rational again.
He realized that Kakashi didn't summon this sturdy wall to block Ukon, but something else instead!
"Huh?" - before he realized a giant explosion catapulted him away.
When Sasori saw Guy charging at him, he opened his mouth and a barrage of needles shot out.
Guy instinctively knew that those needles were dangerous and jumped sideways.
'Those needles arent shaped to do lethal damage, so this means they are poisoned...if my enemy is a poison-user, I can't get hit...I didn't use him in a long time, but better be safe than sorry!' - Guy retreated into the distance to give himself some time.
"Summoning Jutsu!" - With that, Guy summoned Ningame.
"A tortoise? Your pet looks as stupid as yourself..." - Sasori ridiculed him.
"It's been a long time, Guy..." - Ningame
"I know, but can we do the catch up later? My enemy is a poison user, and I need you to help me close the distance." - Guy
Ningame starred at Sasori before nodding.
Then he suddenly retreated into his shell and Guy positioned himself behind him.
On another battlefield.
"...koff...are you two alright?" - Chiyo has used her "puppet-arms" to summon a chakra shield, which shielded Naruto and Sakura.
Of course, this was only possible since Deidara's explosion was mainly focused on Eiji and not Naruto since he needed to catch Naruto alive.
"So you decided to just hide behind your pet? It looked like you had some fighting spirit, but if that's how you want to do things..." - Sasori knew that needles or his tail wouldn't be able to damage Ningame's shell, so he decided to just breathe poisonous gas into the battlefield.
'Since this is a cave, he will need to escape outside...at this moment I'll strike...' - Sasori continued to breathe the gas, and soon most of the battlefield was cover in a purple mist.
But before the gas could reach Guy, Ningame suddenly started to rotate and Guy was ridding on him.
"HOAAARHH!!!" - Guy shouted while Ningame shot with an unbelievable speed, moving seemingly randomly across the walls and ceiling of the cave.
On his way, Ningame left a trail of destruction behind: boulders and walls destroyed, purple mist completely dispersed and the ceiling crumbled down!
'What's up with this ridiculous speed?! I need to use another pup-' - while Sasori was planning his next move, Guy suddenly jumped from Ningame and was instantly above Sasori.
Guy hit Sasori with a perfect and powerful kick!
Crack!
Hiruko was destroyed, but the "real" Sasori used the slight moment of confusion to retreat.
This time, instead of the crooked and old voice from his puppet Hiruko, now Sasori speaks with his youthful voice: "Really...the most stupid looking ones are always the ones who surprise the most...when I add you to my collection I will fix your appearances though..."
"Looks like this is the real one, Guy. Be careful, I have the feeling he's starting to get serious." - Ningame
"I know but since he is a puppeteer, our tactic will be the same: Get into close-range where he is weak!" - Guy got himself ready.
"Still...for destroying Hiruko so seemingly easy, I will show you now my favorite one..." - Sasori summoned the Third Kazekage.
"This is..." - Guy had a shocked face.
"You know him?" - Ningame
"Oh, even stupid-looking brutes can recognize-" - Sasori was interrupted by Guy.
"Who's that?" - Guy
"..." - Sasori
"..." - Ningame
After recollecting himself, Sasori did a fake cough, before saying: "Anyway, let us begin!"
At another battlefield.
'Shit...even with my regenerative ability, if I didn't react in the last second, I would have been done...' - Eiji was panting and standing in a huge crater with an arm missing while most of his clothes were blown to pieces.
He looked around: the forest more or less disappeared, Naruto and Sakura looked being fine since they were guarded by Chiyo's chakra shields.
'Those tiny chakra-shields were probably only able to block this explosion because this piece of shit mainly targeted me...makes sense though since he needs to capture Naruto alive...but more importantly why did he attack me? I always made sure to show a completely neutral stance towards Akatsuki...did they decide that Shiki Ryuu's growing influence would become problematic for their future plan? ' - while contemplating he looked towards the perpetrator.
Deidara was flying nonchalantly on his tone-bird: "Hmm...didn't think you would be able to survive a surprise C3...well, looks like I'll have even more fun...yeah."
medic-nin..."
"Alright got it!" - Ningame nodded andput Guy on his back, before disappearing.
"GIVE GAARA BACK!!!" - when Naruto saw Deidara's Akatsuki coat, he erupted with fury and instantly shouted.
"At the very start, he'll be the one toshout loudly and rush at you, eh? Looks like this is the Jinchuriki..." - Deidara looked towards Naruto amused.
He didn't know who was the Jinchuriki he was looking for, so he didn't drop his C3 onthe Konoha group. But he knew that Eijiwas the lost Hokage, so he was instantly excluded as a Jinchuriki and Deidara tried to get rid of him before dealing with the others.
"Naruto, stop!" - Kakashi joined themnow since he no longer had to deal with Ukon.
"BUT!!" - Naruto
"Calm down...don't you see that theenemy is flying? How do you intend to attackhim?" - Kakashi
"I agree...fighting an enemy who can fly isquite problematic...we need to form a planfirst...besides..." - Chiyo looked at Eiji.
This situation became awkward, it appeared that it's about to become a three-way fight!
All eyes were on Eiji, expecting his decisionon what he would do.
Eiji looked at himself: his arm and wounds were already fully regenerated, but his clotheswere still blown to pieces. But the most important thing was that his sword was blown away!
He would need to search for it first before he can use his Kenjutsu-techniques.
Eiji grinned: 'Well, in this situation there is only one choice to be made...'
"Hey, you guys! I hope you have noticed by now, that I'm not with the Akatsuki...so how about a temporary alliance?" - Eiji shouted towards the Konoha group (plus Chiyo).
Naruto was furiously staring at Deidara and didn't care about Eiji, while Chiyo looked towards Kakashi for his decision since he was de facto the leader.
Kakashi thought for a time, before making his mind up: "Alright."
Then he signaled for Eiji to come to them so that they can include him in their plan discussion. If not, he would have to shout his plan across the battlefield with Deidara hearing it as well.
"Hmm...this seems a bit problematic now...I shouldn't waste my tone unnecessarily and play around with my flight advantage...yeah." - Deidara started to think of a plan on how to deal best with the "Eiji - Konoha alliance".
"Great, now buy some time for me!" - instead of getting near them, Eiji just ran off.
"..."
'Hmm...isn't that bad? If he gets away and exposes a bunch of Akatsuki secrets, boss would get mad at me...but the Jinchuriki has priority...also who knows if he actually knows secrets about us...yeah.' - Deidara watched Eiji running away while preparing for battle.
Unlike in the original timeline, Deidara wasn't flying above a cliff, where Naruto could jump from a cliffside with a Rasengan at him when Kakashi used Kamui on Deidara. Instead, he was now flying above the crater-exforest battlefield, and other than having a way to fly themselves, it was impossible to reach him. That's why he was cocky and didn't try to separate his opponents. He only needed to keep his distance and attack from long-range.
"DAMN, GET DOWN HERE!!!" - Naruto
"Kakashi...I don't have any way to attack this far, and I suspect that's the case for every one of us. I advise we retreat and let Naruto lure him somewhere where we can reach him..." - Chiyo
"No, time is of the essence, we can't waste time here when the Kazekage still might be alive...I have a way, but I will need some time to prepare it." - Kakashi used a hand sign in front of his Sharingan and started to prepare his Kamui.
"I underst-" - Chiyo was interrupted, by Naruto's shouting. Not only did he kept shouting, but now he wanted to charge alone at Deidara with no plan.
"NARUTO!! Calm down...you can't reach him. Let's trust Kakashi-Sensei's plan!" - Sakura held him back.
"BUT!!!..." - Naruto gritted his teeth but managed to calm down.
He then got into a formation with Sakura and Chiyo, defending Kakashi.
'Hmm...looks like they have something planned...but sticking together like that makes it easier for me to hit them all at once...yeah.' - Deidara was now straight above them and opened his arms where a handful of tone C1 figures appeared. He then started dropped them all.
"!" - the group got ready: Naruto used a shadow clone army as human shields, Chiyo summoned her strongest puppets - The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets to cut and destroyed the bombs before they reached them. And Sakura...she stood there and waited in case someone gets injured.
Eiji who was searching nearby for his sword kept his eyes on the battle: 'Looks like Kakashi wants to use Kamui, eh? If they manage to hold on a bit, this fight will be concluded.'
Deidara kept using his small C1 since C3 used way more chakra, but the more important reason was that he needed Naruto alive.
But this was enough, while he only used his weakest arsenal, Naruto's group below were struggling and it was only a matter of time before one bomb would manage to slip through.
"KAKASHI, HOW LONG DO YOU STILL NEED?" - Chiyo was asking him worryingly.
"Don't worry, I'm ready now...Kamui!"- Kakashi looked at Deidara with his Mangekyo Sharingan.
'?! What's this? Doujutus...DAMN!' - Deidara noticed the distortion and tried to fly away.
"What the...this jutsu is amazing..." - Naruto blurted his thoughts out.
But it didn't go as expected.
Eiji who was watching from afar couldn't believe his eyes: 'Are you fucking serious? Kakashi missed completely?'
"Sorry...I missed...I still can't properly control the location and size of the barrier limiting the area..." - Kakashi was panting from the aftereffects of using his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Now the situation was really bad - at that's putting it mildly.
Deidara started to laugh loudly, his laughter seemingly mocking everyone.
Sigh...Narutoand Sakura, take Kakashi and retreat. I will hold him off!" - as the oldest, Chiyo thought that since she lived her life to an old age, it would make themost sense for her that she should be the one to hold Deidara off to buy some time.
"Granny Chiyo..." - even Narutowhowas full of rage calmed down and was solemn when he understood her intent.
"Lady Chiyo...there is no need to...I can hea-"
"Sakura, don't forget our objective...she is right, we need to regroup with Guy's team or else we don't stand a chance..." - Kakashi
"I'm sorry to interrupt your tragic moment, but it's about time to end it...yeah." - Deidara stopped laughing and prepared to finish it.
Meanwhile, Eiji who was watching recovered finally from his shock that Kakashi completely missed. He knew that in the original timeline Kakashi wanted to decapitate Deidara with his Kamui, but because he couldn't control it he only managed to destroy Deidara's arm. But now he didn't even hit his arm!
'I'm fucking tired of all this shit. Fate or whatever, the world keeps trying to mess with me for no reason at all. I really hatefighting: there is always a chance to die, especially since I'm not a genius and might screw up like Kakashi just did. That's why I don't want to get involved personally and used my knowledge instead. But I'm done with that. Fate or the world cando whatever it wants, I'll just destroy every obstacle with raw power...'
Eiji still haven found his sword, but he knew that he needs to step in now, or things could get really ugly. At first, he believed that nothing could happen to Naruto because of fate, but he noticed that it seemed sometimes to work and sometimes not, so he needed to savethem.
"EVERYONE, LEAVE NOW!! I CAN HOLDHIM OFF FOR SOME TIME!!" - Chiyo urged them to leave, but Naruto's and Sakura's hesitationwas enough for Deidara to make his move.
"...it was fun, but the most important thing for me is art...and art is an explosion!"
'...do I have to force my body to use Kamui again...I don't know if it'll work, but I don't have a choice...' - Kakashi started to strainhis Mangekyo Sharingan as much as hecould.
BOOM!!!!
"Looks like even though I'm retired,Istillhave to do a Hokage's job..." - giant mass appeared between them and the explosion.
When the smoke from the explosion subsided, everyone could see Eiji on top of a giant red snake.
"YOU BASTARD!!! WHERE THE HELL DID YOU SUMMON ME?! THAT HURT, DAMN IT!!" - Garaga was pissed - though he is usually always pissed, but now he was extremely pissed! Beingsummoned straight into an explosion isn't pleasant, to say the least.
"Tsk, are you a sissy or what? Stop crying, it did almost no damage to you..." - Eiji looked annoyed at the loud Garaga.
"I WILL EAT YOU!!" - Garaga turned on his "partner" and threw Eiji into the air by moving his head up.
Then he opened his mouth and swallowed Eiji.
"..."
"Eh?" - Deidara
"... let's just ignore what happened and use the chance to escape!" - Kakashi urged his team.
"Garaga, did you forget our agreement already?" - somehow, contrary to everyone's expectation, Eiji appeared next to Garaga.
"Hmph!!" - Garaga knew Eiji's strength and didn't continue to attack him.
"Hmm...this snake is pretty big and it makes them able to reach me...this isn't good...yeah." - Deidara flew even higher and started to fly around them.
Hitting them with bombs was now harder since they had more time to react before theyreach them, but better safe than sorry.
'What an ass...even with my sword, hitting him on that distance would be way too hard...looks like I don't have a choice...I never hoped I would need to use it since it would mean that I got myself too deeply involved, but fuck it.' - Eiji climbed at a high speed on top of Garaga's head again.
In his eye's Deidara was destined to die anyway, so might as well use him to unload his anger and frustration about this whole situation onto him.
With a serious face and a dangerous glint in his eyes, Eiji spoke to Naruto those words: "You want to be Hokage, Naruto? Let me show you the level you at least need to be, to be at least considered worthy for that title..." - Eiji raised his palm in front of his face while rememberingsomething that happened a while ago.
Around 1 year ago.
Eiji looked at a huge crater in front of him and Sasuke.
Since Sasuke didn't have the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he needed other ways besides the Mangekyo Sharingan techniques to use in battle, or else he would turn blind in no time.
With his knowledge, Eiji helped him develop all the techniques Sasuke would do in the original timeline himself, but with Eiji's "hints" thespeed was of course faster.
Until now, it was mostly stuff like manipulating his Chidori and various snake techniques.
But right now what they looked at, was the aftermath of an S-rank jutsu Sasuke finished developing.
It was Kirin.
Truly it was a wonderous technique and Eiji couldn't help but marvel at Sasuke's ingenuity.
Because he was always beside Sasuke during the development, he knew everything aboutit: but that made him appreciate the genius Sasuke even more.
'Damn...those geniuses really make meenvious...I wish I had a jutsu like that...'
...
'I'm an idiot.'
Since he knows how it works, if he wants to have a jutsu like that why not just make one?
Kakashi sensed that he was about to witness an amazing technique, so he observed it with his Sharingan.
But when he saw that Eiji only blow air through his mouth into the atmosphere he began questioning Eiji's sanity.
Blowing air into the air seemed like the most chakra waste one could think of.
However, he quickly notices how the weather began to change.
This was because when warm moisture-laden air rises rapidly into the air, storms are formed. Sasuke used fire for that, but since Eiji is proficient in wind and not fire release, he directly used wind instead.
Now, to actually form Kirin out of a storm, you would need to be highly proficient at lightning release like Sasuke. For Eiji who didn't even bother to train other nature transformations besides wind, this was impossible.
For what reason did he then create a storm?
Because storms are a prerequisite for tornadoes to form.
Normally, air rising in thunderstorms begins to spin when it's affected by winds blowing it from different directions, but Eiji can just rotate the wind on his own.
Anyway, the storm Eiji was now fully formed and everyone finally realized that Eiji would use nature's chakra instead of his own.
What a genius and novel idea!
Unfortunately, the one who came up with this (Sasuke), would get his credit stolen by Eiji.
"Using nature's chakra...the jutsu we are about to see will be on a non-human level..." - Kakashi made sure to see every little detail with his Sharingan so that he might copy it.
"...this...damn it. Even after training 3 years with pervy sage, I'm still so weak compared to that..." - Naruto
"What a talented youngster...truly Konoha still is a shinobi powerhouse after all these years." - Chiyo
'...I never thought you could use chakra like that...' - Sakura
'Hmm...this looks pretty bad...he is more troublesome than I expected... let's just retreat, yeah.' - Deidara noticed that flying around when a strong weather-based jutsu is about to form, would be a bad idea, so he chose to escape.
There is no shame in retreating when you are a wanted criminal!
However, the strongest aspect of Kirin was the speed which made dodging impossible, but since Eiji didn't use lightning, but a tornado which wasn't as fast instead, was it still undodgeable like Kirin?
The answer was yes.
A huge hurricane started to form in the storm and everyone held their breath.
Not only was it a hurricane, but it had the shape of a giant tiger.
It was like a heavenly deity descended upon the world!
Deidara stopped his escape to gaze upon it.
And he started to laugh: "HAHAHA!!! AS AN ARTIST, I CAN'T HELP BUT ADMIRE THIS ART OF NATURE!!"
He seemingly lost his mind and continued to look at it like he was looking at an art piece in a museum.
However Eiji didn't care: with his yellow snake-like eyes which gazed solemnly at Deidara's figure in the distance, he closed his palm into a fist when the tiger was fully formed.
"Tear him apart, Byakko!"
The hurricane-tiger seemed to roar while traveling to Deidara's location and destroyed everything on its path.
It's speed wasn't really impressive, it was on the level of the speed of when Naruto throws his Rasen-Shuriken, but it didn't need to be fast.
Like Kirin, it wasn't dodgeable since Byakko made use of the characteristics of wind: even if he missed or Deidara tried to dodge, as long as it's somewhere around its traveling path, everything will get sucked in and then shredded into countless pieces.
Only if you have a way to increase your weight to an unbelievable level, could you manage to not get sucked in.
But like Kirin, Byakko was huge and could target a giant area, so hitting an opponent wasn't a problem at all.
In short, it was are truly powerful jutsu deserving to be classified as an S-class jutsu.
Deidara realized too late that he should stop gazing at this "art" and probably should try to dodge, but he could feel how he and the bird he was flying on was sucked into Byakko's "mouth".
"Shit...but dying to something as artistic as that, doesn't seem too bad, yeah..."
The aftermath of Eiji's jutsu left everyone with an open mouth.
Except for Garaga who is always pissed and can't read the mood: "Are you finished? Now, get down from me you bastard!"
"Tsk, it's not likeyou snakeshave something better anyway...might beuseful for once..." - Eiji replied with one of his usual remarks, but his mind was occupied with finding his sword.
It wasn't only because he can't use kenjutsu without it, but because he treasured it for sentimental reasons.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY, BASTARD?! WHATEVER JUST UNSUM-" - with smoke he disappearedand Eiji landed gracefully on the ground.
At Ryuchi Cave, Garaga cursed Eiji for his disrespectful attitude and for not letting him even finish his sentence, but he soon calmed down.
The reason was that even though he would never admit it, he actually respected Eiji.
Back then when Eiji visited Ryuchi Cave again to master Sage-mode, the White Snake Sage was openly complaining about Garaga and that she thought about disposing of him.
Eiji wasn't someone who would needlessly stick his nose into situations that didn't concern him and he wasn't a hero who can't help butdoing good deeds like saving others.
So he wanted to ignore it at first, but Garaga's rampage made focusing on his trainingimpossible, so he asked the White Snake Sage if he can deal with this problem.
Of course, she had no reason to decline and so he went to the origin of the rampage.
It wasn't their first time meeting each other and Garaga was happy that he could unload his fury on a human since he really hated humans.
Without a word, he tried to swallow him, but Eiji expected it and dodged.
"?" - Garaga noticed how Eiji appeared next to his head with a bored expression.
"You know, I'm not the type of person to hold grudges so I'm not here to pay you back for what happened when I accidentally summoned you, but you are a nuisance not only for the Granny Snake but for me as well..."
"GYAAA!!! SHUT UP!! I DON'T CARE!!" - Garaga resumed to try to eat him.
"Tsk, not one to talk things out nicely, are ya?" - Eiji vanished and appeared on top of Garaga's body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!" - when Eiji's sword stabbed him, Garaga cried out in pain.
'HOW CAN A MERE HUMAN STAB THROUGH MY HARDY SCALES? THIS ISNT POSSIBLE...' - Garaga knew he had to get serious and not just try to eat him alive.
"Did you know that having a giant body makes it easier for me to hit?" - Eiji continued to vanish and appear at different locations rapidly while stabbing Garaga.
He was just too fast for him.
But Garaga wasn't powerless and started to spit out poison in every direction.
Eiji knew that it was now a time-race and he needed to finish it fast before the whole area is covered in poison.
He instantly went all out, since even thoughhe managed to stab him countless times, itwasn't really deep and didn't injure him significantly.
"Sigh...why do you have to make it so hard for both of us? Sage-mode." - Eiji quickly gathered natural chakra to enter Sage-mode.
When he saw that, Garaga stopped attacking.
Because he knew that he doesn't stand a chance against a sage.
The overly prideful Garaga lowered his head with his eye closed and seemingly accepted his defeat - there was no need for words.
Slowly Eiji walked towards his face with his sword drawn: "So you accept defeat? You are sharper than you look."
He pointed the sword at Garaga's non-blinded eye and starred into Garaga's eye which he now had opened.
And then he just put his sword back into his sheath.
"Damn you human...are you looking down on me?" - Garaga's pride was hurt and he became furious once again.
"Why should I look down on you? I only said that I'll deal with your rampage and not that I kill you...killing needlessly isn't my style...besides I don't want to do as the Granny Snake wishes since she is pretty shady and I don't trust her at all. Anyway since I let you live I'll need tomake sure you don't go around and cause a ruckus anymore...so you have to enter a contract with me or I'll continue to kick your ass..."
"Contract? I will never trust a human again for me to enter a contract with one...just kill me instead. It's better than being betrayed later on..."
When Eiji heard that he couldn't help but think how cliche such a backstory was, and almost broke out in laughter but he managed to just grin instead: "Trust? Betraying? Who caresabout that shit! This is only something the weak do. Listen, I'm so strong that I don't need to betray you, do you understand?"
"You bastard, aren't you too full ofyourself? Fine, let's do a contract, I will see myself if there is actually a human strong enough to not need to betray someone!" - Garaga shouted spurred on.
But his thoughts were calm: 'This brat...I've met many humans who talk about morals and criticize others for their wrongdoings and think they are always in the right...but he is different...he acts the way he does not because of morals, but simply because he wants to...he is truthful in his actions and doesn't hide his interests with moral hypocrisy like most humans do. I'm interested to see where this brat will end up...so I'll follow him.'
